THE CHARLESTON COTTON MILL
The Colored Folks May Have Chance

The Colored Folks May Have Chance
to Spin and Weave.
CHARLESTON, Dec. 1S.-The failure of the
revolution in the manufacture of cotton
goods. A good many years before the war
cotton mill was started in Charleston. 1t
cost good many hundred thousand dollars,
but it taught that generation that Charles
ton couldn't run a cotton mill. The build
ing was converted into an aims house and
was used as such until the earthquake
destroyed it. In 1880 a cotton mill boom
struck Charleston; a company was formed
and several thousand people put up $500, 900
to start a big mill, which was to
give employment to 500 or 600 poor
men, women and children (whites).
By strange fatality the site selected for
the new mill was within stones throw of
the aims house nee the old cotton mill. A
gigantic building was put up and before
the machinery was all paid for the $500, 900
capital had been exhausted. The usual re-
suit followed. The mill was bonded for
$3.50 000. The stock went down, and hun
dreds of poor people who had invested their
savings in it either sold out at'fifty cents on
the dollar or held on until now. when they
can't get, five cents on the dollar. The
directors say the failure is due to their in
ability to get labor. The poor whites of
Charleston don't seem to take to mill
work. The mill is to be sold 1t will
probably be purchased by the wealthy stock
holders who have been able to protect them
selves in measure by taking bonds, and
who will doubtless get it for a mere song.
1t is not improbable that they will try the
experiment of running it with negro labor,
and this opens up an interesting field of in
vestigation Many cotton mills have been
built in the South within the past decade
the negro has never yet been called upon to
spin and weave; he has never yet had the
opportunity of trying his hand at that kind
of work 1t is probable that the opportu-
nifty will be offered him in Charleston, and
the experiment will have an important
bearing ON the future of the race in the
South.

A SHEET WITH SCALES ON 1T.
The National Fisheries Association
Starts an Absurd Periodical.

The National Fisheries Association
Starts an Absurd Periodical.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Simultaneously
with the opening of Washington bureau
by the National Fisheries Association ap-
pears the first number of periodical de-
voted to the exposition of that associations
ideas. 1t is a well printed publication of
nineteen double column pages with striking
but simple illustrations. Its title mo Sur
render,n runs across the folds of an Ameri-
can flag suspended over a picture of a har-
Dor filed with fishing smacks with rail-
road train standing on the shore. Its motto
underneath this scene is, 'The destiny of
every nation is in its own keeping"
Its first number is dated yes
terday, but was sent to the Senators
and Representatives in Congress to-day.
Its first and longest article is by Luther
Maddocks, Secretary of the National Fish
cry Association, and in charge of its Wash
ing bureau. He takes four pages to set
forth the associations well known views.
1t is illustrated with a cut of a fishing
smack, with "Don't give up the ship" un-
derneath. Then comes the resolutions
adopted at Gloucester Dec. 9. An extract
from the Century describing the perils of a
appropriate illustrations, is sandwiched be-
tween highly colored accounts of the
social festivities in Washington during the
negotiation of the treaty of 1854 and the
treaty of 1871 with England. These are
illustrated with ridiculous pictures. The
rest of the paper is filled with republished
interviews with Senator Frye and Repre-
sentative Cogswell on the fisheries question,
an article on the Behring seal industry rep
resenting England trying to destroy the ex-
tracts from the Canadian Pacific articles
which have been appearing this fall with
comments and an absurd cartoon, and
finally an article urging mail subsidies to a
South American steamship line.

A PICNIC OF A FUNERAL.
THE BURIAL OF THE ANARCHISTS
FAR FROM IMPRESSIVE.

No Sorrow Manifested by Those in the
Funeral Train-Mrs. Parsons tainted
at the Grave - A Motley and Far
From Moral Lot of Mourners.
CHICAGO, Dec 1S.--The bodies of the four
Anar chists who were hanged Nov. II, as
well as that of Lingg, were placed in their
final resting place in Waldheim Cemetery
to-day. There was no disorder. Mrs Par
sons tainted at the grave. The special
funeral train contained not over 800 people.
There was no sorrow displayed by the occu-
pants, i'll fact the demeanor of the people
was that of a picnic party. Smoking was
indulged in by nearly all of the men, aud
the women displayed only curiosity
THE MoURNERs.
When the train arrived at Waldheim sta
tion stampede was made for the cemetery.
The undertakers removed the lids from tie
collins at the same time that the chief
M burners took their places. Among the
latter We're Chris and Ferdinand Spies with
their sister Gretchen and their aged mother.
Nina Van Zandt with her father, Elsa
Freidel, Lingg's girl, Mrs. Fischer with her
daughters, Mrs. Engel, and close to her was
Mrs Schwhb, whose husband is in the peni-
tentiary, All of the women were dressed
in heavy mourning.
LIFE-LIKE FEATURES.
The featuresof all the dead were life like
not a trace of decomposition was 10 be
seen. Before the addresses began memo
rial hymn was sung by a Milwaukee
maennerchor. Then Capt. Black spoke.
After Capt. Black, came Paul Grottkan. of
Milwaukee, who was followed by Albert
Curtin, of st. Louis. The speakers were
frequently app,auded
Mrs. Fischer laid cabinet photograph of
her 2-year Old daughter on the glass Of her
husbands coffin, and simultaneously a man
placed in Engel's coffin several copies of the
Arbeiter Zeitung.
A WREATH FOR LINGG.
Just as the word was given to the under.
takers to remove the caskets, a representa-
tive of the Cleveland Brewers Union stepped
to the front and laid wreath on the caslxet
of Lingg. The bodies were then lowered
into the grave and placed in position. The
bottom OF the grave is of granite blocks, as
are the sides, and the top is of two blocks OF
granite foot thick, thus forming a COM
plete stone encased recaiptacle.

He Hasn't Found the Ghost Yet.


Hermann, the magician. says he has been
around the world three times looking for a
ghost. He doesn't believe in any super
natural manifestations of any kind. He
says the best sleight. of-hand tricks or mind
reading exhibitions are accomplished by the
aid of accomplices. II is surprising to see
how it pleases most people TO be asked conf
dentially 10 cooperate with performer of
nose. The late Alfonso of Spain and Louis
Napoleon both assisted Hermann on more
than one occasion TO dupe an audience, and
they always kept the secret. The King of
Spain was his accomplice in this: Alfonso
wrote on piece Of paper and sealed it in an
envelope; Hermann tore the.envelope in two,
burned one-half publicly and sent the other
to the other end Of the salon in hat. A
sealed double slate was then given him, in
which he reproduced the writing on the
paper, which, when removed from the hat,
was found to be intact. Hermann has just
left for st. Louis, where he owns property.

SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATION
The Phosphate Question-The Confed-
crate Pension Bill.


COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 1S.-The session of
the General Assembly of South Carolina is
drawing to close, and everybody in the
State is glad. Somehow, of late years, the
people of the State have cause to dread
these annual sessions The Tillman agita-
ton, of which the readers of the MORNING
NEWS have been advised, suggested fears of
revolutionary and reactionary legislation.
The Tillman movement, however, has died
a natural death, and conservative people
breathe easier
The phosphate problem has been left un-
solved Both branches of the Legislature
refused to indorse the scheme proposed by
the special commission to limit the produc-
tion of phosphates. The meas
ure Cthe scope of which has
already been published in the MORNING
NEws,) raised the cry of monopoly" ana it
was sgnally and emphatically defeated.
What will be the result no man can fore
tell The phosphate men both land and
river say that the business has gone to the
demnition bow vows, and that everybody
will go under. The States interest in the
business amounts to about 500, 900 per an
mum, which is Just so much saved to the tax
payers. There is talk now of pool between
the land and river companies-a plan that
was suggested some months ago, but was
abandoned in the hope of remedy b. leg
islation in the direction of the scheme that
has just been defeated.
In this connection il may be mentioned
that the supply and appropriation bills are
now under discussion. The appropriations
aggregate in roundi numbers, 81 ,000,0 900 in
cluding the Confederate pensions. The levy
for State purposes recommended by the
Committee of Ways and Means is 81 mills
on the dollar, an increase of mills on
last years levy.

In the House.

The few days in which the House will be
in session during the coming week will in all
probability be devoted to discussion of the
rules which are to govern the proceedings
of the House for the present Congress. The
Committee on Rules, which it is learned
on authority will be the only important
committee appointed before the recess,
will be announced tomorrow, and
an early adjournment will be
had in order to enable that
committee to formally organize and
proceed to consideration of the proposed
changes of the rules which have already
been referred to it. The committee will
endeavor to submit its report Tuesday or
Wednesday, thus making it possible for the
House to consider, debate and adopt the re-

CONGRESS- WILL GO SLOW.
The Cabinet Nominations and the
Committee on Rules.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-There is no joint
purpose on the part of the Senators either
to do or abstain from doing any given thing
during the coming week, unless indeed
unanimity of opinion in favor of beginning
the holiday recess on Thursday or earlier be
accounted a purpose. The Senate calendar
contains only three bills which can be taken
up for action, one of which provides for re-
funding to the States the direct tax of 1861
A dozen measures lie on the table, some of
which will doubtless be called up during the
week by their originators as texts for set
speeches. and will then be referred to the
proper committees.
CABINET NOMINATIONS.
The matters of greatest general interest
before the Senate in executive session are
the Cabinet nominations, and these seem to
be waiting the motion of the Judiciary Com
mittee, to which the nominations of Secre-
taries Lamar and Villas were sent The be-
lief is general among the Senators that no
action will be taken upon these nominations
until after the holiday recess. The total
number of nominations before the Senate is
429, not more than a dozen of which have
yet been reported back from the COM
mittees.
